Running scripts on FileMaker Server
FileMaker Server administrators can create scheduled tasks to run two types of scripts:
 •
system-level scripts (for example, Windows batch files)
 •
FileMaker Pro scripts in databases hosted by FileMaker Server
These scripts can run in sequences.
To see whether a script step is compatible with FileMaker Server:
1.
In FileMaker Pro, choose Scripts menu > Manage Scripts.
2.
In the Manage Scripts dialog box, double-click a script name or create a script.
3.
In the Edit Script window, select Server from the Show Compatibility list.
Script steps that are not supported from a FileMaker Server schedule appear dimmed.
Notes
 •
A FileMaker Server-scheduled script will halt if an unsupported script step is encountered. To allow a scheduled script to skip an unsupported step, use the Allow User Abort script step and select Off.
 •
A scheduled script is run by FileMaker Server whether or not any FileMaker Pro clients have the files open. Clients will see the effect of the script (for example, if a script running in FileMaker Server changes a record, it will update in FileMaker Pro), but FileMaker Pro has no part in the script execution.
